The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating unprecedented business opportunities for both individuals and organizations.

The story The name of the man in the picture on the left is Andy Grove and he is one of Intel’s founders and has Parkinson (PD) The story begins when he reads and article in the NY times about Big Data and decides to start a project within Intel related to PD and Big Data He contacts Michael J fox foundation and then decides to start a joint effort together The idea is to elaborate Internet of things, wearable's technology and big data platforms to assist PD research PD Neurodegenerative disease, movement disorder symptoms Existing treatment are mainly for quality of life improvements and not for curing ~6M patients, ~1M in the US and ~5M in the rest of the globe Life expectancy: ~10-15 years 1 out 100 over the age of 60 is a PD patient No Test and no Progression markers

On this slide the focus should be on the patient reported capabilities and the configurable data collection strategies. For the patient reported explain the Medication reminder and reporting capabilities which helps us track patients compliance, learn abour medication effect on the motor symptoms and this while providing value to the patients The Objective measures part is covered later on in the PPT. In the Other section talk about the ability to configure which sensorial data to use for each cohort of users

Quick review of PD solution layers as a use case of IoT platform Batch Layer based on Spark Storage layer using Hadoop, HBase & MySQL for Metadata Powerful, scalable ingestion layer based on Akka & Kafka A dynamic stream analytics layer based on Akka actor system framework Scalable Service layer providing set of APIs for registration & data extraction out of the platform UI layer – the only layer in this diagram which is unique to PD solution – using Pebble watch and Android application to collect data and interact with patients You can note that 5 out of the presented 6 layers (excluding the UI layer) are part of the IoT platform and can be used for similar products / verticals

Writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is hard. Akka uses the Actor Model to raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications. Can support millions of concurrent actors handling different streams which is a good fit to IoT characteristics. We use Akka for: Processing messages Near Real-time rules Change detection at the device level
